BEFORE
Everyone out in Devil’s Lake, Michigan, knows the three Malloy sisters: perfect big sister Kit; tomboy Tessa, who shares more with Kit than most people realize; and Lilly, the baby of the family, determined to make her own mark. Yet as close as they are, there are certain things sisters don’t tell one another. And one of them is keeping a secret that will turn their little world inside out.

NOW
No one knows exactly what happened to Kit in the woods that night—all they have are a constellation of facts: icy blue lips and fingers cold to the touch, a lacy bra, an abandoned pick-up truck with keys still in the ignition. Still, Tessa, even in her fog of grief, is certain that her sister’s killer wasn’t Boyd, the boy next door whom they’ve all loved in their own way. There are too many details that don’t add up, too many secrets still tucked away.

But no matter how fiercely she searches for answers, at the core of that complicated night is a truth that’s heartbreakingly simple.

Told in lush, haunting prose, Frozen Beauty is a story of the intoxicating power of first love, the deep bonds of sisterhood, and a shocking death that will forever change the living.

Later, long after she’d curled back into her side of the trundle bed in Mel’s room—after she’d awoken the next morning to her friend lying beside her, softly snoring—Lilly would recall that word, please, and know for certain that it had been Kit’s final plea for her life. That if only she had stayed, or shouted, or called for help, maybe things would have gone differently.

Maybe her sister would still be alive.

Que livro maravilhoso. A forma como essa história foi apresentada e desenvolvida me cativou muito. Estou muito feliz de ter conhecido as irmãs Malloy, e sinto que a morte de Kit se transformou em um motivo pra viver, um motivo para elas seguirem em frente. E de certa forma, ela se tornou a própria vida, sempre presente e junto delas.
Por favor, leiam, vocês não vão de arrepender. É uma leitura muito bem desenvolvida e instigante. Uma história sobre primeiros amores, laços e ações impossíveis de se reverterem. Mas no fim, é principalmente, uma história sobre irmandade e união em uma narrativa de suspense instigante.
